Since Harry S. retired, he says, "I buy junk and sell treasures." He has a section in an antiques depot just outside of Lebanon, PA. At an estate auction, he bought this pay phone which he has put in the antiques depot. I did some research on the Internet for him. We found out it was manufactured between 1911 and 1912. Best Viewed Large.
Retired educator - taught mathematics in high school, went back to graduate school, worked in research labs, and finally went back and taught computer science...
I have decided to quit posting here...it was kind of a long time coming. I haven't been posting regularly for months anyway. I will still stop in and check in. But as far as photos go, I feel like it is time to move on. I have learned a lot and pushed myself in disciplines I have never tried. Its time to focus on fine tuning and improving. I feel there are other places that facilitate this in a better fashion. I decided to post this here, rather than do a big sappy write up! (Yes I am putting this on everyone's photos that I feel are my friends here so just know you are special to me but copy and paste is easier for this kind of thing:) )
